Measuring our performance

We are making good progress in our corporate responsibility performance. The targets we are setting to assess our progress are increasingly informed by our stakeholder engagement processes.

We have reintroduced a detailed performance overview into our corporate responsibility reporting. We received feedback from socially responsible investors and corporate responsibility analysts, in particular, that they had a strong preference for a clear and informative summary of our performance against objectives, including an overview of our targets and plans for the following year.
